10 Ways to Celebrate Constitution Day

September 17th is Constitution Day. 224 years ago, America’s Founders ratified a new Constitution that would form a more perfect union and secure the blessings of liberty. Here are 10 easy ways you and your family can celebrate Constitution day:

2) Pass out copies of pocket Constitutions to your friends and coworkers. Can’t get a hold of pocket Constitutions? Email your friends and coworkers the link to an online copy of the Constitution.

3) Take a Constitution quiz online. ConstitutionFacts.com offers both a simple and an advanced quiz.

4) Learn about the Framers of the Constitution. Check out Heritage’s Founders Almanac for short bios and important quotes of some of the key Founders. Can’t decide which Founder you like best? Take the Constitution Center’s Which Founder are You? quiz.

5) Discover the ideas behind the Constitution. The Federalist Papers are the most famous Founding era essays on the Constitution. To learn more about the history and context of America’s Founding principles and the subsequent challenge to them posed by progressivism and modern liberalism, check out Heritage’s We Still Hold These Truths.

7) Make sure your kids understand the Constitution. Read the Constitution together as a family. Discuss the importance of the Constitution at the dinner table. For younger children, check out Heritage’s Understanding America series for easy-to-read explanations of some of the core principles which the constitution defends. Do you have older children, perhaps some in college? Send them a copy of The Heritage Guide to the Constitution.

8) Share what you know about the Constitution. One of the best ways to ensure the Constitution is remembered is to share what you know and learn about it with those around you. Post a blog. Submit an article to your local newspaper about the importance of the Constitution.

9) Watch a movie about the Founding era. 1776 is great fun for the whole family. For a more in-depth and sophisticated portrayal of the Founding era, try the HBO miniseries on John Adams. Want to enjoy some mindless patriotic fun? See if Captain America is still in theatres.

it's so unfortunate! the duration of time spent on the individual minds of many across the country, wasted intentionally on promoting false perception and misinterpretation of a document as important to mankind's freedom and personal dignity as the American Constitution. Hopefully more will catch on to the strength of it's meaning and the meaning of it's strength!
